I wasn’t born a medium—I earned my gifts through pain, growth, and transformation.

It was especially challenging for me because I started as an atheist and staunch non-believer. There was a time when I thought material science held all the answers. I was pursuing a Ph.D., following the societal blueprint for success.

Then, in 2015, my life changed forever when my father passed away suddenly. He was my role model—a fellow atheist, a man of science, erudite, and skeptical of anything paranormal.

So, you can imagine my shock when he visited me the night he died, over 200 miles away.

The irony wasn’t lost on me.

This wasn’t my first paranormal experience (yes, I’d had others despite my disbelief), but it was the one that made me stop and pay attention. It forced me to question everything I thought I knew about the world.

It was the beginning of the journey that brought me here.

At first, I struggled with feelings of failure. Opting out of my Ph.D. felt like giving up, like I wasn’t finishing what I started. Thankfully, my mentor reassured me that my worth wasn’t tied to a degree, but it didn’t erase the fear.

I was terrified—terrified of what my life would become, of what people would think, and of what my friends and family might say. Most of all, I was scared that I was imagining things.

Stepping into the paranormal, spiritual, and occult world felt daunting. I didn’t want to fail again. I was anxious, confused, and unsure of myself. I felt like an outcast, disconnected from who I truly was. The stress became overwhelming.

But what was more overwhelming was the feeling that I couldn’t be myself. I hated hiding my experiences and new beliefs, ashamed of the guilt and fear I carried in silence.

Until I decided to let go.

I let go of expectations—my own, my loved ones’, and society’s. I let go of self-doubt. I faced my fears and chose to stop letting others dictate how I should live or what I should believe. My experiences were valid. They were real. And I decided it was time to trust myself.

The path was anything but easy. Many times I felt isolated, doubted—by others and myself—and dismissed. Talking about my experiences felt impossible; most people either didn’t believe or didn’t understand.

When I turned to the internet for answers, I was met with a frustrating reality: the resources were often inaccessible due to high costs. It seemed like spiritual guidance and knowledge were only available to those who could afford pricey courses, retreats, and readings.

I didn’t have the means to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to learn, and it felt wrong that something as universal as spirituality was so hard to access. Perhaps it was a consequence of capitalism, but regardless, I decided to forge my own path.

I rejected the expensive offerings and self-proclaimed gurus. Instead, I followed what resonated with me and learned independently.

Thank God, the Universe, and Spirit that I did.
